本実施形態では、図１を主として参照しながら、図２に示す太陽電池モジュール１の製造方法の一例について説明する。   In the present embodiment, an example of a method for manufacturing the solar cell module 1 shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference mainly to FIG.

太陽電池モジュール１の製造に際しては、まず、図１に示される積層体２０を作製する。具体的には、まず、太陽電池１２を用意する。用意される太陽電池１２は、ひとつであってもよい。また、配線材１４により接続された複数の太陽電池１２を含む少なくともひとつの太陽電池ストリング１５を用意してもよい。ここでは、配線材１４により電気的に接続された複数の太陽電池１２を含む太陽電池ストリング１５を用意する例について説明する。   When manufacturing the solar cell module 1, first, the laminated body 20 shown in FIG. 1 is produced. Specifically, first, the solar cell 12 is prepared. One solar cell 12 may be prepared. Further, at least one solar cell string 15 including a plurality of solar cells 12 connected by the wiring member 14 may be prepared. Here, the example which prepares the solar cell string 15 containing the several solar cell 12 electrically connected by the wiring material 14 is demonstrated.

太陽電池１２は、受光面１２ａと、裏面１２ｂとを有する。受光面１２ａとは、太陽電池１２の２つの主面のうち、主として受光する主面のことであり、他方の主面が裏面１２ｂを構成している。一般的に、受光面１２ａと裏面１２ｂとの両方に電極が設けられている場合は、裏面１２ｂに設けられた電極の方が、受光面１２ａに設けられた電極よりも大面積である。   Solar cell 12 has a light receiving surface 12a and a back surface 12b. The light receiving surface 12a is a main surface that mainly receives light among the two main surfaces of the solar cell 12, and the other main surface forms the back surface 12b. Generally, when electrodes are provided on both the light receiving surface 12a and the back surface 12b, the electrode provided on the back surface 12b has a larger area than the electrode provided on the light receiving surface 12a.

次に、第１の保護部材１０、透明樹脂シート１６、複数の太陽電池１２、着色樹脂シート１７及び第２の保護部材１１をこの順番で積層することにより積層体２０を作製する。積層体２０では、複数の太陽電池１２の裏面１２ｂ側に着色樹脂シート１７が配されている。複数の太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａ側に透明樹脂シート１６が配されている。   Next, the laminated body 20 is produced by laminating | stacking the 1st protective member 10, the transparent resin sheet 16, the some solar cell 12, the colored resin sheet 17, and the 2nd protective member 11 in this order. In the stacked body 20, the colored resin sheet 17 is disposed on the back surface 12 b side of the plurality of solar cells 12. A transparent resin sheet 16 is disposed on the light receiving surface 12 a side of the plurality of solar cells 12.

第１の保護部材１０は、太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａ側を保護する部材である。第１の保護部材１０は透光性を有する。第１の保護部材１０は、例えば、ガラスなどにより構成することができる。   The first protection member 10 is a member that protects the light receiving surface 12 a side of the solar cell 12. The first protective member 10 has translucency. The first protective member 10 can be made of glass, for example.

第２の保護部材１１は、太陽電池１２の裏面１２ｂ側を保護する部材である。第２の保護部材１１は、例えば、樹脂シートや、金属などからなる反射層を含む樹脂シートにより構成することができる。   The second protection member 11 is a member that protects the back surface 12 b side of the solar cell 12. The second protective member 11 can be constituted by, for example, a resin sheet or a resin sheet including a reflective layer made of metal or the like.

透明樹脂シート１６は、太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａの上に配される。ここで、「透明樹脂シート」とは、顔料及び染料を実質的に含まず、入射した光を透過させる樹脂シートである。   The transparent resin sheet 16 is disposed on the light receiving surface 12 a of the solar cell 12. Here, the “transparent resin sheet” is a resin sheet that substantially does not contain pigments and dyes and transmits incident light.

着色樹脂シート１７は、太陽電池１２の裏面１２ｂの上に配される。ここで、「着色樹脂シート」とは、顔料及び染料の少なくとも一方を含んでいる樹脂シートである。着色樹脂シート１７は、例えば、酸化チタンなどからなる白色顔料を含んでいることが好ましい。   The colored resin sheet 17 is disposed on the back surface 12 b of the solar cell 12. Here, the “colored resin sheet” is a resin sheet containing at least one of a pigment and a dye. The colored resin sheet 17 preferably contains a white pigment made of, for example, titanium oxide.

透明樹脂シート１６と着色樹脂シート１７との厚みは、それぞれ限定されない。透明樹脂シート１６の厚みと着色樹脂シート１７の厚みとは同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。透明樹脂シート１６と着色樹脂シート１７との厚みは、それぞれ、３００μｍ〜６００μｍ程度とすることができる。   The thicknesses of the transparent resin sheet 16 and the colored resin sheet 17 are not limited. The thickness of the transparent resin sheet 16 and the thickness of the colored resin sheet 17 may be the same or different. The thicknesses of the transparent resin sheet 16 and the colored resin sheet 17 can be about 300 μm to 600 μm, respectively.

次に、積層体２０を加熱しながら加圧することによりラミネートするラミネート工程を行う。なお、ラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度は、例えば、５０℃〜１５０℃程度とすることができる。ラミネート工程における積層体２０に加える圧力は、例えば、５０ｋＰａ〜１００ｋＰａ程度とすることができる。   Next, the lamination process which laminates by pressing the laminated body 20 while heating is performed. In addition, the heating temperature of the laminated body 20 in a lamination process can be about 50 to 150 degreeC, for example. The pressure applied to the laminated body 20 in the laminating step can be, for example, about 50 kPa to 100 kPa.

上記積層体の作製工程及びラミネート工程を行うことにより、図２に示される太陽電池モジュール１を完成させることができる。太陽電池モジュール１は、太陽電池１２を備える。具体的には、太陽電池モジュール１は、配線材１４により電気的に接続された複数の太陽電池１２を含む太陽電池ストリング１５を備える。   The solar cell module 1 shown in FIG. 2 can be completed by performing the laminate manufacturing process and the laminating process. The solar cell module 1 includes a solar cell 12. Specifically, the solar cell module 1 includes a solar cell string 15 including a plurality of solar cells 12 electrically connected by the wiring member 14.

複数の太陽電池１２は、第１の保護部材１０と第２の保護部材１１との間に配された充填材層１３内に配されている。充填材層１３は、着色充填材層１３ａと、透明充填材層１３ｂとを有する。着色充填材層１３ａは、第２の保護部材１１と太陽電池１２の裏面１２ｂとの間に配されている。着色充填材層１３ａは、着色樹脂シート１７から構成されたものである。このため、着色充填材層１３ａは、顔料及び染料の少なくとも一方を含む。   The plurality of solar cells 12 are disposed in a filler layer 13 disposed between the first protective member 10 and the second protective member 11. The filler layer 13 includes a colored filler layer 13a and a transparent filler layer 13b. The colored filler layer 13 a is disposed between the second protective member 11 and the back surface 12 b of the solar cell 12. The colored filler layer 13 a is composed of the colored resin sheet 17. For this reason, the colored filler layer 13a contains at least one of a pigment and a dye.

透明充填材層１３ｂは、太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａと第１の保護部材１０との間に配されている。透明充填材層１３ｂは、透明樹脂シート１６から構成されたものである。   The transparent filler layer 13 b is disposed between the light receiving surface 12 a of the solar cell 12 and the first protective member 10. The transparent filler layer 13 b is composed of a transparent resin sheet 16.

第２の保護部材１１の上に、複数の太陽電池１２に電気的に接続された配線材が電気的に接続された端子ボックスが設けられていてもよい。太陽電池モジュール１の外側にフレームが設けられていてもよい。   On the second protective member 11, a terminal box to which a wiring material electrically connected to the plurality of solar cells 12 is electrically connected may be provided. A frame may be provided outside the solar cell module 1.

ところで、一般的に、太陽電池の受光面側に配する樹脂シートと、裏面側に配する樹脂シートとは、同じ樹脂材料からなるものとされている。例えば、太陽電池の裏面側に酸化チタン等の顔料を含むエチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体により構成された樹脂シートを配し、太陽電池の受光面側に顔料を含まないエチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体により構成された樹脂シートが配される。しかしながら、この場合は、ラミネート工程において、裏面側に配された着色樹脂シートの一部が太陽電池の受光面の上にまで回り込んでしまう場合がある。その結果、図３に示される太陽電池モジュール１００のように、着色充填材層１１３ａが太陽電池１１２の受光面１１２ａの上に位置することになる。従って、太陽電池モジュールの出力特性が低下してしまう。   By the way, generally, the resin sheet disposed on the light receiving surface side of the solar cell and the resin sheet disposed on the back surface side are made of the same resin material. For example, a resin sheet made of an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer containing a pigment such as titanium oxide is arranged on the back side of the solar cell, and an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer containing no pigment on the light receiving side of the solar cell. The resin sheet comprised by this is arranged. However, in this case, in the laminating step, a part of the colored resin sheet disposed on the back side may wrap around the light receiving surface of the solar cell. As a result, the colored filler layer 113a is positioned on the light receiving surface 112a of the solar cell 112 as in the solar cell module 100 shown in FIG. Therefore, the output characteristics of the solar cell module are deteriorated.

それに対して本実施形態では、透明樹脂シート１６として、ラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率が着色樹脂シート１７よりも高い樹脂シートを用いる。即ち、ラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度において、着色樹脂シート１７の貯蔵弾性率よりも、透明樹脂シート１６の貯蔵弾性率の方が高い。このため、着色樹脂シート１７と透明樹脂シート１６との界面が太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａよりも裏面側であって、太陽電池１２の厚み方向における中央よりも受光面１２ａ側に位置する。よって、ラミネート工程において着色樹脂シート１７の一部が太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａの上に回り込むことを効果的に抑制することができる。従って、改善された出力特性を有する太陽電池モジュール１を製造することが可能となる。   On the other hand, in this embodiment, a resin sheet having a higher storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating process than the colored resin sheet 17 is used as the transparent resin sheet 16. That is, the storage elastic modulus of the transparent resin sheet 16 is higher than the storage elastic modulus of the colored resin sheet 17 at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step. For this reason, the interface between the colored resin sheet 17 and the transparent resin sheet 16 is located on the back surface side of the light receiving surface 12 a of the solar cell 12 and on the light receiving surface 12 a side of the center in the thickness direction of the solar cell 12. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress a part of the colored resin sheet 17 from going around the light receiving surface 12a of the solar cell 12 in the laminating step. Therefore, it becomes possible to manufacture the solar cell module 1 having improved output characteristics.

ところで、ラミネート工程において着色樹脂シートが太陽電池の受光面の上に回り込むことを抑制する観点からは、着色樹脂シートと透明樹脂シートとの界面が太陽電池の厚み方向の中央よりも裏面側に位置するようにラミネート工程を行うことも考えられる。しかしながら、この場合は、着色樹脂シートと透明樹脂シートとの界面において反射した光が太陽電池の側面に入射しやすくなる。従って、太陽電池の受光面への集光効率が低下する。それに対して本実施形態では、着色樹脂シート１７と透明樹脂シート１６との界面が太陽電池１２の厚み方向における中央よりも受光面１２ａ側に位置している。このため、太陽電池１２の受光面１２ａへの集光効率を高めることができる。その結果、さらに改善された出力特性を得ることが可能となる。   By the way, from the viewpoint of suppressing the colored resin sheet from wrapping around the light receiving surface of the solar cell in the laminating step, the interface between the colored resin sheet and the transparent resin sheet is located on the back side from the center in the thickness direction of the solar cell. It is also conceivable to perform a laminating process as described above. However, in this case, the light reflected at the interface between the colored resin sheet and the transparent resin sheet is likely to enter the side surface of the solar cell. Therefore, the condensing efficiency to the light-receiving surface of a solar cell falls. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the interface between the colored resin sheet 17 and the transparent resin sheet 16 is located closer to the light receiving surface 12 a than the center in the thickness direction of the solar cell 12. For this reason, the condensing efficiency to the light-receiving surface 12a of the solar cell 12 can be improved. As a result, further improved output characteristics can be obtained.

透明樹脂シート１６のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率を、着色樹脂シート１７のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率よりも高くする方法は特に限定されない。例えば、着色樹脂シート１７として、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体（ＥＶＡ）などからなる架橋性樹脂を含む樹脂シートを用い、透明樹脂シート１６として、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィンなどからなる非架橋性樹脂を含む樹脂シートを用いてもよい。その場合、着色充填材層１３ａが架橋性樹脂を含み、透明樹脂シート１６が非架橋性樹脂を含む。架橋性樹脂は、ゲル分率が５０％以上であってもよい。非架橋性樹脂は、ゲル分率が５０％未満であってもよい。なお、「ゲル分率」とは、以下の測定方法により測定されるものである。測定対象となる樹脂を１ｇ用意する。その樹脂を、１２０℃において、１００ｍｌのキシレンに、２４時間浸漬する。その後、キシレン中の残留物を取り出し、８０℃で１６時間乾燥させる。その後、乾燥後の残留物の質量を測定する。得られた結果から、以下の式（１）に基づいて、ゲル分率（％）を算出する。   The method for making the storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the transparent resin sheet 16 higher than the storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the colored resin sheet 17 is not particularly limited. For example, a resin sheet containing a crosslinkable resin made of ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or the like is used as the colored resin sheet 17, and a non-crosslinkable resin made of polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene is used as the transparent resin sheet 16. You may use the resin sheet containing. In that case, the colored filler layer 13a contains a crosslinkable resin, and the transparent resin sheet 16 contains a non-crosslinkable resin. The crosslinkable resin may have a gel fraction of 50% or more. The non-crosslinkable resin may have a gel fraction of less than 50%. The “gel fraction” is measured by the following measuring method. 1 g of resin to be measured is prepared. The resin is immersed in 100 ml of xylene at 120 ° C. for 24 hours. Thereafter, the residue in xylene is taken out and dried at 80 ° C. for 16 hours. Then, the mass of the residue after drying is measured. From the obtained result, the gel fraction (%) is calculated based on the following formula (1).

（ゲル分率（％））＝（残留物の質量（ｇ））／（浸漬前の樹脂の質量（ｇ）） ……… （１）   (Gel fraction (%)) = (Mass of residue (g)) / (Mass of resin before immersion (g)) (1)

より改善された太陽電池モジュール１を得る観点からは、透明樹脂シート１６のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率を、着色樹脂シート１７のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率の１．５倍以上とすることが好ましく、３倍以上とすることがより好ましい。但し、透明樹脂シート１６のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率が高すぎると、太陽電池１２が割れる可能性がある。従って、透明樹脂シート１６のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率は、１×１０６Ｐａ以下であることが好ましい。From the viewpoint of obtaining a more improved solar cell module 1, the storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the transparent resin sheet 16 is stored at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the colored resin sheet 17. The elastic modulus is preferably 1.5 times or more, more preferably 3 times or more. However, if the storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the transparent resin sheet 16 is too high, the solar cell 12 may break. Therefore, the storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the transparent resin sheet 16 is preferably 1 × 10 6 Pa or less.

具体的には、着色樹脂シート１７のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率は、５×１０５Ｐａ以下であることが好ましく、３×１０５Ｐａ以下であることがより好ましく、１×１０５Ｐａ以下であることがさらに好ましい。透明樹脂シート１６のラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度における貯蔵弾性率は、８×１０５Ｐａ〜５×１０６Ｐａであることが好ましい。Specifically, the storage modulus at a heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the lamination process of the colored resin sheet 17 is preferably 5 × is 10 5 Pa or less, more preferably at most 3 × 10 5 Pa, More preferably, it is 1 × 10 5 Pa or less. The storage elastic modulus at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step of the transparent resin sheet 16 is preferably 8 × 10 5 Pa to 5 × 10 6 Pa.

透明樹脂シート１６の貯蔵弾性率は、ラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度においてのみ、着色樹脂シート１７の貯蔵弾性率よりも高くてもよい。透明樹脂シート１６の貯蔵弾性率は、ラミネート工程における積層体２０の加熱温度においてのみならず、積層体２０の加熱温度よりも低い温度においても、着色樹脂シート１７の貯蔵弾性率よりも高くてもよい。   The storage elastic modulus of the transparent resin sheet 16 may be higher than the storage elastic modulus of the colored resin sheet 17 only at the heating temperature of the laminate 20 in the laminating step. The storage elastic modulus of the transparent resin sheet 16 may be higher than the storage elastic modulus of the colored resin sheet 17 not only at the heating temperature of the laminated body 20 in the laminating process but also at a temperature lower than the heating temperature of the laminated body 20. Good.
